From the Carter Bridge Area (e.g., Idumota or CMS Bus Stop), board a yellow bus (Danfo) heading towards Obalende or Ikoyi.
Alight at Obalende Bus Stop or Falomo Bus Stop.
From Obalende or Falomo, find a Keke Napep (tricycle) heading directly into Parkview Estate. Confirm your destination with the driver before boarding.
Always confirm the destination and fare with the Danfo conductor or Keke driver before starting your journey.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops, to avoid pickpockets.
For Keke Napeps, you might need to share with other passengers unless you pay for 'charter' (the entire Keke), which will be more expensive.
While generally safe during the day, nighttime travel requires extra caution. Stick to well-lit areas and avoid boarding vehicles that seem suspicious. It's advisable to complete your journey before 9:00 PM if possible.
Danfos and Keke Napeps have limited space. You can typically carry a small bag or backpack on your lap. For larger luggage, you might need to pay for an extra seat or 'charter' the entire Keke, which will increase the cost.
Travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or late evening) or on weekends. Leaving very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) can also significantly reduce travel time.
While there are ferry services on Lagos waters, they do not directly serve Parkview Estate. You would still need land transport from a ferry terminal (e.g., CMS, Falomo) to reach Parkview. They are not a direct alternative for this specific route.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid heavy traffic. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) is also generally better than peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route is generally safe during the day. However, crowded bus stops like CMS and Obalende are known for petty theft (pickpocketing). Be cautious at night; 'one-chance' incidents, though less common for public Danfo/Keke, can occur if you board unmarked private vehicles. Always use established public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from CMS to Obalende, which covers a significant part of the journey. There is no rail service directly on this route.
